Host Westfield looks to get comfortable at its own venue Friday night as it prepares to capture a seventh straight Union County crown.

Amanda Brown/For The Star-LedgerJenna Rizkalla and her Westfield teammates aim for their seventh straight Union County crown Friday night. The action begins at 6 p.m. at Westfield high school.

Getting comfortable has been a tall task this season for Westfield up to last Friday when it hit a new season high (109.95) in the the second-highest dual meet in 2012.

Abby Cook, Jenna Rizkalla, Lindsey Ripperger and Lyndsey Lee, among others, have overcome obstacles to get Westfield to this point.

Westfield, No. 5 in The Star-Ledger Top 20, edged No. 19 Cranford at the Cougar Classic, topping its rival 106.3-104.875. No. 17 Scotch Plains, which hit 106.15 on Sept. 25, has struggled with consistency since but is lying back in the weeds ready to pounce if either provide the opening.

Alexandra Puryear emerged as the all-around winner at the Cougar Classic with 36.1 points. Westfield's Abby Cook was runner-up at 36.075, followed by Jenna Rizkalla third overall at 35.9. Scotch Plains' Alex Peluso was fourth with a solid 34.85. Newcomer Summit high school will make its Union County championship debut.
